Massey's Homer Lifts Royals to Fifth Straight Win

Michael Massey hit a go-ahead two-run homer, Isaac Collins also went deep and the Kansas City Royals pushed their winning streak to five with a 5-3 victory over the AL Central-rival Cleveland Guardians. Stephen Kolek allowed a three-run shot by Rhys Hoskins but little else over six innings in his season debut for Kansas City.

Nick Mears and Daniel Lynch IV handled a scoreless inning apiece in relief, and Lucas Erceg worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to earn his third save in four games. The Guardians' Gavin Williams (5-2) allowed five runs and eight hits while losing for the first time since March 27. sweetbonan.org
